US Reiterates 'Full Agreement' With Netanyahu on Iran

Following up on weeks of pressuring US officials, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to lay out the “red line” on Iran himself, saying that Iran cannot be allowed to have 240 kg of 20 percent enriched uranium, which he claimed was “enough for one bomb.”

Absent in all of this is that one cannot make a nuclear weapon out of 20 percent enriched uranium in the first place. The figure seems to be an estimate of the amount of such uranium that, if further enriched to weapons-grade (over 90 percent) might conceivably be enough for one bomb.

Iran has been producing 20 percent enriched uranium for over a year now, as this is the level of enrichment needed to fuel the US-built Tehran Research Reactor (TRR), which produces medical isotopes for the country. The IAEA put their stock of the uranium at 189 kg.

Which would mean the red line would automatically start a war in the spring, something Netanyahu conceded in today’s interview, though he insisted if the US endorsed his red line Iran would probably stop producing the fuel.

The US did nothing to contest the Netanyahu statement, and instead continued to insist that they are in “full agreement” with whatever fool statements the Israeli leader is making at any given time.

First Israel Should open its Nuclear sites for IAEA inspections and and sign NPT then we can discuss the situation under the rules and regulations for NPT signatory for both Israel and Iran. Until then you keep your red lines to yourself.

Truth Allowed

Mankind should "lay out the red line" on Zionist behaviour and give them no more that a month!!! for Israel regime change…and than "LEVEL THIS IDEOLOGY" for benefit to whole Humanty….peter czech

What is also forgotten here is that Irans 20 percent Uranium stocks actually decreased because they have made RODS with it, Rods for the reactor that makes Medical Isotopes. Of course the Iranians wouldnt have had to make 20 percentile Uranium if the France had have supplied them as per the contract they had!

That sudden changes of supply of Uranium for Medical use, has meant that the Iranians cannot trust supply and as such must make their own, The CIA have a worf for it its called Blowback, but then again the CIA has had lots of experience in blowback in Iran!
